urllib2 only supports GET or POST HTTP request methods.
This patch adds support for other methods.

>>> import urllib2
>>> r =
urllib2.Request("http://jdiworks.net/",method="HEAD")
>>> u = urllib2.urlopen(r)
>>> u.read()
''
>>> h = u.headers.getheader
>>> h("content-length")

There's no uploaded file! You have to check the
checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File"
when you upload a file. In addition, even if you
*did* check this checkbox, a bug in SourceForge
prevents attaching a file when *creating* an issue.

Please try again.

(This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do
nothing about. :-( )

As there is still no uploaded file, I'm closing the patch as
invalid. Please resubmit a new patch when you have one.
